4A Abscess Drainage Malecot Catheter

SKU: 4A-RA-0015

The Abscess Drainage Malecot Catheter is a specialized flexible drainage tube utilizing four expandable distal wings to maintain long-term internal retention inside body cavities. Engineered specifically for draining dense, viscous, or necrotic fluid collections, the open-wing architecture provides an uninhibited intake surface that resists clogging from sloughed tissue. Constructed from medical-grade silicone-coated elastomer or polyurethane, it ensures patient comfort during prolonged drainage regimens such as nephrostomies and deep cavity abscess management.
